  • Page 6: Terms And Abbreviations

    1 TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS • PTU: This abbreviation stands for pressure tank unit. This is the name for the entire device incl. pump unit and pressure tank. • Pump unit: Component mounted on the pressure tank that connects to the hose lines and pumps the water.
  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    The use of this product by young people under the age of 16 is not recommended. The GARDENA PTU is intended for pumping ground and rainwater, tap water and chlorinated water in private gardens and allotments.The GARDENA PTUs 5600/6300 Bluetooth® Art. 9067/9068 are part of an irrigation system along with the Bluetooth®...
  • Page 8: Additional Safety Instructions

    → Always conduct a visual inspection of the PTU (especially the mains connection cable and mains plug) before use. A damaged PTU must not be used. It is essential to have the PTU checked by GARDENA Service if it is damaged. Electrical modifications may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. → Disconnect the PTU from the mains before filling, removal or maintenance.
  • Page 9 2.3.2. Additional personal safety instructions DANGER! Risk of suffocation → Small parts can easily be swallowed. → Keep small children away when you assemble the product. DANGER! Risk of injury from hot water The pumped water is pressurised and can cause injury if it directly strikes the body or eyes. If there is no water supply on the suction side, the water in the PTU may heat up and the hot water produced could cause injury if leakage occurs.
  • Page 10: Assembly

    3 ASSEMBLY DANGER! Risk of injury Risk of injury due to unintentional startup. → Disconnect the plug from the mains socket. 3.1 Selecting the installation location • The surface must be low-vibration (e.g. do not place on metal sheets or plastic tanks) to ensure quiet operation.
  • Page 11: Connecting The Suction Side

    • Connect suction hoses !4 without a threaded connection to the connection on the suction side using a suction hose connection piece (for example Art. 1723/1724), ensuring it is airtight. 3.3.1 Types of connection systems Designed for a flat gasket: Including all GARDENA suction sets made of plastic. No thread sealing tape is required. Ensure that the flat gasket !G is inserted into the suction hose fitting and is undamaged. Designed for thread sealing tape: If you use different connections, use sealing tape on the male thread of the connections.
  • Page 12: Connecting The Hose To The Pressure Side

    Efficient use of the pumping capacity of the pump unit is achieved by con- necting: • 19 mm (3/4“) hoses in conjunction with the GARDENA pump connection set Art. 1752 or • 25 mm (1“) hoses with the GARDENA female quick thread coupling Art. 7109/quick coupling hose connector Art. 7103. Hold or fix the pressure hose vertically to prevent it kinking at the vertical pump outlet.Lay the hose flat on the ground and ensure that there are no U-shaped rises in it or coiled hoses. The best way of all- owing air to escape is for the pressure hose to be stretched out so that it runs upwards when viewed from the PTU.
  • Page 13: Connect The Pressure Hose Via The Gardena Combi System

    If more than two pressure hoses are connected in parallel, we recommend the use of: • e.g., the GARDENA 2-way or 4-way distributor Art. 8193/8194 or the GARDENA 2-way valve Art. 940.These can be screwed directly onto the connections on the pressure side !7.

  • Page 15: Stopping The Pump Unit

    If the pump is not pumping water after five minutes: 1. Let the pump unit cool down. 2. Look for possible causes in the error tables (see “11.2 Error messages”) and (see “11.3 Error table for the PTU”). 3. Restart the pump unit. 4.2.2 Stopping the pump unit To stop automatic mode, press the key. 4.2.3 Max. flow values The pump unit has a bypass valve to enable short suction times.
  • Page 16: Functions

    5.3 Power Boost The Powerboost function reliably detects high flow rates (e.g. in a sprinkler) and continues pumping despite reaching the switch-off pressure. After watering has been completed (including a follow-up time), the PTU returns to the previously selected pressure mode, provided that the demand is only for small flows (e.g. for toilet flushing or drip irrigation). 5.4 Bluetooth® The Bluetooth function offers you a convenient way to control your PTU using the GARDENA Blue- tooth® app. To do this, you must pair your PTU with your mobile device (Android® or iOS®) via Blue- tooth® (see “8.4 Bluetooth”). 5.5 Timers and watering schedules In addition to switching your PTU on and off manually, you can also switch it on and off using the timer function or watering schedules. Note that when the consumer unit is open, the pressure tank drains after the timer has expired or at...
  • Page 17: Timer

    5.6.1 Automatic restart In case of suction or dry running problems, an automatic restart takes place after 1, 5, 12 and finally every 24 hours. In the case of saved watering schedules, a restart takes place at the beginning of the next schedule. 5.7 Reminder Use the reminder function to remind yourself of the next filter cleaning based on operating hours and your own experience (local water pollution level). 5.8 Direct start With the “Direct start“ function, the PTU starts as soon as it is supplied with power. This func- tion is particularly suitable for operation with a timer or the GARDENA “smart Power adapter” (Art. 19095/19096).
  • Page 18: Safety

    5.9 Safety Your PTU has two optional safety options. 5.9.1 Leakage detection The leakage detection function can detect small leaks and thus prevent water loss. It ensures that your PTU is automatically stopped if a permanently low water flow is detected. This feature is disabled by default. 5.9.2 Maximum run time The function “Max. run time” limits the time of continuous water output by performing a safety switch- off, e.g. in the case of a burst garden hose. By using the “Max. run time” function, it is possible to defi- ne how long the PTU can draw water continuously. As soon as the set time is reached, the PTU auto- matically stops and thus effectively protects against increased water loss due to possible major leaks in the piping system.
